Del. Heather Mizeur writes that she plans to introduce legislation in January to ban fracking in Maryland until the oil and gas industry agrees to fund a study of the "potential threats" of the process ("No studies? No fracking," Sept. 13).
Ms. Mizeur raises several arguments about the alleged harm of fracking, yet one wonders what study would determine whether it is safe. Her statement that the reason for her bill is that the commission studying the matter "does not have dedicated resources to fund this issue" is laughable, since the legislature could have created funding for the study but chose not to so.
Ms. Mizeur can't seem to understand that the industry has legitimate grounds to be wary of paying a "fee" to fund a study that will be based more on politics than on science. Our country is sitting on an ocean of natural gas and shale oil. This resource can provide hundreds of thousands of jobs to our citizens, provide inexpensive and clean energy for generations and help obtain long desired energy independence.
Presumably, Ms. Mizeur would prefer that we continue to obtain our oil from tyrants in the Middle East and Venezuela and also depend on windmills. Let's hope for a lot of windy days.
Instead of polishing her apple before liberal environmental groups and making sure that MSNBC spells her name correctly, perhaps Ms. Mizeur should devote her energy to working with the oil and gas industry to develop safe and proper procedures for fracking, thereby helping the environment and harvesting a crucial resource.
That, however, will not happen, since Ms. Mizeur does not want fracking either now or in the future. Many states, such as North Dakota, are booming because of their oil and gas industry. Maryland lags behind because of our well-deserved anti-business reputation, led by politicians such as Ms. Mizeur.

You know the term "bittersweet?" I never fully lived that word till now. Bittersweet is kind of awful…but wonderful. It's being SO excited and full of joy at the possibilities and also so very sad you're not quite sure what to do with yourself.
No, I'm not retiring. ;) My husband is though, after 30+ years of teaching music, and 31 of those years at one school.
Can you even imagine? No one stays at one place for 31 years anymore.
He is the director of bands at his school and has overseen the whole performing arts department (one of the best, if not the best in the country…and I'm not just saying that) for years now.
I was in the band (color guard – the furthest I got on an instrument was playing the recorder…horribly) and fell in LOVE with the whole activity. So all these years I've understood his passion for what he does. At least a little bit. Enough be an understanding band wife all these years. If you are one youknowwhatI'msayin.
So while I'm THRILLED to have my husband all to us, our family, for really the first time ever, I'm also so unbelievably sad. It's hard to put into words.
I've lived this world for the past 21 years and my stepdaughter and son grew up in it:
To be a band wife and a.) stay married and b.) make sure your kids see Daddy, you go to a LOT of events. Practices, school functions, football games, band competitions. Every season too – practices in the summer, competitions in the fall, shows in the winter and concerts in the spring.
My son grew up at the high school:
And I got the honor of sticking around my alma mater for another 20 years. I loved high school, I'm proud of that school and I was thinking the other day – how cool that I've been able to still walk those halls every month? Keep up with the changes, the staff, build more memories?
UGH. Months ago my husband told me this may be harder on me than him, and he was right at the time. Now it's hitting him like a ton of bricks, so now we're both just a MESS. :)
I don't talk about my husband much on the blog but he is my EVERYTHING. I am the proudest wife on the planet. I have never met a man who works harder, is more successful, but is also the humblest man you'll ever know. It's NEVER about him. Always, always, always about the kids.
I've been going through hundreds of pictures in preparation for his big bash we're throwing this weekend, and I hope you bear with me as I share a few and brag on him a little. These pics show so many of the things I love about him.
His unadulterated JOY of conducting:
He is so animated, so obviously in love with being in front of those kids, making music. It all shows when he's on the podium. It is the definition of passion, watching that. Who gets to do what they are passionate about for 30 years? He is so thankful.
My man is a complicated one – he speaks in front of thousands like it's nothing. He is a fantastic speaker and usually brings me to tears when he does. But he would so much rather be out of the spotlight, just doing his thing. He's an odd mix of outgoing and introverted.
This photo so struck me as him in so many ways:
I know he looks upset there, but he's not. He's thinking. Contemplating. How to make the kids better. How to teach them more. How to help them succeed. It's not about winning for him, it's about life lessons.
I love that photo.
But this is the husband I see most often:
Happy to do what he does. Changing the lives of his students. Always trying to make someone laugh when they least think they will.
Those moments when the attention is on him he hates it…but he is always, always so grateful:
He never takes the credit, and will give it to someone else EVERY time.
But most of all (and now I'm crying, dangit!!!), he is all about his students. I've always called them his "kids," not his students, because they are each his own in a little way. Thousands of them!
This photo was from the last concert in front of his band, and he's holding up his hand so everyone acknowledges those kids:
Now I need to wrap this up cause I can't even handle it. :)
Retirement for my husband won't mean golfing every day – he wouldn't know what to do with himself. He's owned his own business for 20 years now (writing music and other stuff) and he will continue to do that. He's also working with two organizations very close to his heart and he is SO excited.
But so sad. See? Bittersweet, the toughest word of them all.

Turkish Lessons, if Any, for Egypt
With the overthrow of Egyptian president Hosni Mubarak on Friday after thirty years in power, it appears increasingly likely that the long-outlawed Muslim Brotherhood will gain political clout in whatever new government emerges in Cairo.
The Brotherhood, suppressed under Mubarak, advocates an "Islamist" agenda, which has alarmed some American analysts worried about the possibility of Egypt turning into a new Iran. But others have argued that the danger posed by the Brotherhood is exaggerated and point to Turkey, where a conservative Muslim party has been in power since 2002, as proof that an Islamic religious movement can coexist with democracy in the Middle East.
Indeed, Turkey has been cited by many as a model for the whole Arab world as it seeks to cope with the demands of greater democratization, economic prosperity, and political representation.
But comparisons to Turkey should be approached with caution. Despite their superficial similarities, the Muslim Brotherhood and Turkey's Justice and Development Party (AKP) have little in common, Egypt and Turkey represent different political traditions, and the shape of any possible government in Cairo is unlikely to look much like that in Ankara. The Muslim Brotherhood doesn't look to Turkey for inspiration — and neither should secularists worried about how to contain them.
The first lesson to internalize is that the AKP, despite rhetoric that to some Western ears may sound similar to the Brotherhood's, is a far cry from more hard-line groups in the region. The Turkish political vocabulary simply does not provide for such concepts as sharia to advance an "Islamist" political agenda, as promoted by groups such as the Brotherhood.
Turkey's geo-political traditions also offer checks on extremism that differ from Egypt's. As the former imperial head of the Middle East, Turkey inherited a legacy of strong institutions personified by the highly visible role of the military. Turkey is also a member of NATO, and has had a privileged geo-strategic value to the West that provides a moderating influence.
Turkey, unlike Egypt, also has accommodated Islamist groups for decades, which has produced a tradition of Islamic parties playing by the rules that simply does not exist in Egypt. Turkey has experienced four military coups, but since the 1950s has been a multi-party democracy where the military chose to exert its power behind the scenes and allow more conservative Muslim parties to compete as long as civilian politicians abided by the constitutions the military wrote. Attempts to discredit and ban political parties that advocate an explicitly Islamist agenda has kept the AKP committed to Turkey's secular rules of the political game, and is largely why they have been so successful. The AKP have won every election since its emergence in 2002 as a religious conservative party, whereas the Brotherhood has never played in or by the rules in Egypt — in part because Egyptian authorities moved so aggressively against Islamist parties, leaving them no place in the system.
Because it must compete, the AKP also speaks to Turks across a much wider range of issues. Today the AKP speaks for a large portion of the Turkish voters who want to see changes made in the approach and character of both their Republic and its international relations toward the West and Israel. With a majority of the Turkish parliament and municipal administrations controlled by the AKP since 2002, the very structure of the secular Turkish Republic is beginning to change. Not through a radical revolution, but rather through an incremental and technical process mandated by the Turkish constitution, something the Brotherhood has never been a part of in Egypt. The AKP draws its strength from its pragmatism not its ideology, a lesson that is often overlooked in the contentious debates about Turkey's "turn to the East."
With the fastest growing and largest economy in the Middle East, Turkey is uniquely placed to play a decisive role in providing incentives for the newly transformed governments and movements of the region. As a longtime ally of the West and new partner of the Middle East, Turkey has been seeking the role of mediator in every available arena including Egypt, Lebanon, and Tunisia. The AKP has been hosting delegations from Hamas, Hezbollah, and the Muslim Brotherhood since its arrival to power in Ankara and has boasted of its moderating effect. This is something Egypt is nowhere close to doing and on which the Muslim Brotherhood has shown little interest given their dogmatic ideological stance.
At the end of the day, the AKP is a uniquely Turkish phenomenon unlikely to be repeated. Turkey did not transform itself from a defeated post-Ottoman state led by Ataturk's military to a flourishing market-democracy overnight — it has been almost a century in the making. Before pundits turn Turkey into a role model for the post-Mubarak Egypt, we should have a better understanding of the very different contexts in which they have arisen.

October 27, 2004
Digidesign has announced Pro Tools 6.7 software, making enhancements to MIDI sequencing capabilities designed to make MIDI recording, editing and mixing features as easy to work with as audio.
The audio and MIDI feature set in Pro Tools 6.7 has been expanded to deliver tempo-dependent audio placement, tempo-dependent automation, graphic tempo editing, precise control of meter changes, MIDI step input, enhanced support for instrument plug-ins, MIDI Detective, and Beat Detective LE. Pro Tools 6.7 also brings true cross-platform parity for simplified session transfer with major MIDI functionality enhancements to Windows.
Pro Tools 6.7 software expands and enhances the Pro Tools 6.x feature set with features and benefits specifically designed to support the work of music composers. Those include:
- New support for RTAS instruments on TDM Aux inputs provides better instrument plug-in integration, session organization, and LE/TDM session interoperability
- Support for multiple plug-in outputs enables mixing and processing of individual sound sources from instrument plug-ins (Synth and sampler plug-ins must have multiple outputs designed to work with Pro Tools 6.7 functionality.)
- Simple yet thorough step-by-step song composition with the MIDI Step Input window — Facilitates building complex or difficult MIDI tracks
- New MIDI Detective functionality allows generation of tempo maps and groove templates directly from "free" MIDI performances
- With Beat Detective LE, Pro Tools LE users can now take advantage of many of the Beat Detective features previously only available to TDM users
- The TC/E tool's support for MIDI regions enables users to expand or contract MIDI passages exactly as it is done with audio regions, allowing timing changes of individual MIDI regions without affecting the overall session tempo
- Fast drawing and editing of tempo curves are now facilitated through the Tempo Editor pane, including nudging and trimming of tempo segments
- Tempo curves, global insertion/deletion of time, and auto-editing of data when changing meter are all now available through the new Tempo and Time Operations windows
- Tick (musical tempo)-based Audio, Aux and Master tracks keep audio region start points and automation in perfect sync with MIDI
- Straightforward management of external MIDI devices on Windows XP via the MIDI Studio Setup window and advanced patch name support
- With Windows-based systems, support of MIDI Time Stamping and MIDI I/O with improved playback timing resolution
- Organization by function within Pro Tools sessions is now available through color-coding feature — Color-code tracks, regions, markers and much more for instant identification
- New Undo History window enables users to instantly and conveniently return to previous stages of a session's development
- Non-administrator user support for Macintosh and Windows enables users who do not have administrative access to run Pro Tools unimpeded, and IT professionals in facilities and schools to manage user preferences and access
- Enhanced Windows interoperability with legacy Macintosh sessions — Open and convert older SD II-based sessions in one easy step

Big stink: Is it compost-- or garbage?
In Charlottesville's comprehensive plan, Woolen Mills residents say they want to preserve their neighborhood's rural ambiance.
But when Louis Schultz tries to get away with countrified things on his 1.5 acres, his neighbors reach for the phone.
This year, five neighbors have made six complaints, according to city code official Jerry Tomlin.
On November 26, Schultz was busted for his brush piles, and one of two piles was removed by a city-authorized crew. His compost pile is still in the city's sights.
"I love my brush piles," says Schultz. "I have sunken areas, and I use them to fill in the low areas."
On November 5, the city cited Schultz and gave him 10 days to remove his brush piles and compost. Schultz charges that the citation allows no appeal process.
"That's not true," Tomlin counters. "He was notified November 5, but he didn't come in until November 24," the day the city took action by hauling away one of the piles.
"We certainly would have worked with him if he'd asked for an extension," says Tomlin. And he notes that some of the complaints stem from this past summer. "We've made concessions to him," Tomlin says.
Schultz claims he's been told compost piles containing vegetable matter are illegal in Charlottesville, and he refers to City Code section 5-148: "Unlawful accumulations of garbage, refuse, etc."
"We do not define compost at all," says Tomlin. "We do address rubbish that attracts rodents. That's a violation of the trash ordinance."
There's some debate about whether Schultz's pile of rotting grapefruit rinds and eggshells is in fact a compost pile. Another Woolen Mills resident, Kevin "Compost Is My Life" Cox, at first thought Schultz was being unfairly picked on by the city. Then he saw a photograph of Schultz's kitchen debris.
"Just dumping food on the ground does not make a compost pile," he says. "It makes a garbage pile. It's guaranteed to attract possums and rats. I'm not interested in preserving a habitat for rats."
Cox compares Schultz's mound to his own steaming pile. "When you get it nice and hot like that, ain't no rat going in there," says Cox. "If that's what [Schultz] thinks composting is, then go get him, Jerry Tomlin. He gives us all a bad name."
But Schultz has a defender in nature expert Marlene Condon. "Garbage is what you use to make compost. It's decomposed vegetable matter," she says.
Condon does note the presence of eggshells in Schultz's compost, and suggests he stick to vegetable matter. But she calls fears the pile will attract rats "overblown" and says, "It's probably not really a factor in increasing the rat population."
Condon also blasts regulations based on "aesthetics" that prohibit brush piles and Schultz's compost efforts. "There's no biological basis for these codes," she says. "They should be changed. They're not based on practices that are good for the environment."
"Nature is inherently messy," observes John Hermsmeier, director of the Environmental Education Center. He says Schultz's situation illustrates the conflict between sound environmental practices and aesthetic and public health concerns.
"Any municipality should have policies that encourage residents to act in an environmentally sound way," he says.
Schultz has another gripe about city practices. He's irked by city personnel "snooping" around in private yards.
Tomlin defends the practice by noting that both city and state codes authorize such investigations (Charlottesville does about 7,000 a year).
"If a neighbor says there's 15 bags of garbage, and I see rats, I'm going to go in," Tomlin says. But he says he'd never do that without reasonable cause, and if he suspects rotting garbage inside a house, he has to get a search warrant.
This is not the first time Schultz has run afoul of city regulations. Two years ago, he was cited for not mowing "weeds and vegetation in excess of 18 inches." Schultz prefers to call the growth "native plants."
He's also been cited for having an inoperable vehicle that wasn't screened, as required by the "storage of inoperable vehicles" code.
The city hasn't towed that vehicle "yet," notes Tomlin, who points out that the violation is a class 1 misdemeanor with a fine of up to $2,500, plus the cost of the tow.
Schultz took his case to City Council December 1. He wants his brush pile back, and he wants to be left alone to do what he considers sustainable gardening on his property. "I will not stop until both of those goals have been achieved," he told councilors.
What the city will do about Schultz's second brush pile and compost is still pending, says Tomlin.
The city had to hire a contractor to remove the brush pile, and that $95 bill plus a $75 administrative fee will be added to Schultz's tax bill.
Should Schultz refuse to pay, he could be taken to court. Has anyone ever gone to jail for violating city nuisance codes?
"I've done this for 30 years," says Tomlin. "I've only seen one person go to jail, and that was for total contempt of court."
Louis Schultz thinks he should be allowed to compost as he sees fit.

Face the Facts USA: Private or Public Schools: Who's Ahead by Degrees?
Each day in the 100 days leading up to Election Day, middletownpress.com and Face the Facts USA will be partnering to bring you one exhaustively researched and vetted, non-partisan fact about a major issue facing our nation.
Fact No. 69: More MAs in Public School Classrooms
Some may steer their children into private schools assuming they'll have more qualified teachers. Maybe not. 52 percent of the nation's 3.3 million public school teachers have a masters' degree or better - compared to 38 percent of teachers at private schools.
Parents who think a better-educated teacher means better-performing students are right, though. Young students whose teachers hold advanced degrees produce better raw math scores. Click on today's infographic and discover where the improvements are showing up.

Buttons are all the rage right now (if Pinterest hasn't lead me astray).
And we are in search of fun, attractive and affordable kid-friendly Christmas crafts for giving to family and friends.
I have been mulling over two crafts:
{{THIS}} button wreath by Martha Stewart and {{THIS}} sweet felt tree.
I married the two and came up with some sweet Button Trees for Christmas!
My family is exchanging small and simple gifts this year.
For each tree, Rowan and I chose a few special buttons from my Grandmother's old button tin, which holds a place of honour in my crafty space.
These ornaments will bring together 4 generations of memories (yay!).
Did I mention these are kid friendly, too?!
♥ A variety of buttons, old and/or new, various sizes
♥ Scissors
♥ Embroidery floss, brown is suggested
♥ Needle longer than your tallest intended tree
♥ Alternative: hot glue
♥ Optional: raffia or ribbon
There are no rules! Ideally, you will want to choose 3-4 buttons for the trunk of the tree and then buttons from large to small to create the body of the tree. Do not make your tree taller than the length of your needle!
Once we stacked our buttons to test their shape as a tree, Rowan spread them out in a long line in the desired order.
Things will definitely go smoother if all of your buttons have the same number of holes!
As we were using a mix of new craft buttons and vintage buttons, we didn't have this luxury!
Begin with the trunk, string the buttons together and passing your needle and thread (3-4 strands of floss) up and down through them several times.(This is an adult job unless your kids are 9 or 10+).
I have used white thread here on the sample, but I suggest using a brown as the thread will show on the bottom of the finished tree.
You must run the needle right up and back down the tree, try breaking it up into groups of 3-4 buttons in order to ensure a secure finished ornament~ nothing worse than a string of buttons scattering away!
Alternative: You could use hot glue and glue all the buttons together. Personally I like the 'wiggliness' of the threaded buttons, but to each their own!
Be creative! Use what you have on hand!
We had a number of shank-style buttons which worked perfectly as tree toppers, as we were able to attach them 'standing up' and to choose toppers to suit our various family members.
We used raffia. You could use ribbon, wire hooks, string...
For my mother, we used lots of her mother's buttons:
For our own family tree (ok, for *me*) I made a pair of trees entirely of white and pearl buttons from Grandma's button tin. I love the variations in colour and the textures. ♥♥
I think I will make some more for teacher's gifts~ we have some hand shaped buttons to top the trees and thank them for helping hands.
Be sure to link up to this blog and come back to share your finished work! ♥♥

'Phonehenge' builder ordered to repay county thousands
An eccentric Acton man, convicted of building code violations for constructing an elaborate home-complex dubbed "Phonehenge West," was ordered by a judge Friday to perform two months of community service and repay Los Angeles County $83,488. In addition, he must pay still-to-be-calculated fines and court fees.
Alan Kimble Fahey, 60, a retired phone company technician, was convicted last June of a dozen building code violations because he did not obtain proper permits to construct the ornate Acton property, which many of his supporters considered a work of art.
Los Angeles County Superior Court Judge Daviann L. Mitchell ordered Fahey to perform 63 days of community service, "of which a minimum of five days must be served at the L.A. County or Kern County morgue," Mitchell said.
Fahey, who was forced to tear down Phonehenge, now lives in the Kern County city of Tehachapi.
"I feel it was an enormous waste, not only of the county's time but of taxpayer money," Fahey said of his prosecution. "Why do I have to go to a morgue for five days… for a treehouse?"
Fahey's sentencing was delayed at least half a dozen times due to illness or the judge's decision to grant him additional time to demolish Phonehenge. The eccentric builder said he was pleased to finally get a judgment because it would allow him to move forward with an appeal. Lennon confirmed he would file the paperwork on Fahey's behalf within the next week.
Fahey spent almost three decades constructing Phonehenge, a 20,000-square-foot labyrinth of interconnected structures, some built of telephone poles. The highlight was a 70-foot tower. Fahey, his wife, Pat, and teenage son Leo lived in a building he called "the barn." Shelves and rafters hosted more than 20,000 books and a mountain of curios that Fahey planned to put in a museum, library and gift shop. Turkeys, chickens and a peacock were among the livestock that roamed the yard.
County code enforcement officers argued that Fahey's creation wasn't structurally sound and presented fire and earthquake risks. In August, workers began to tear down the un-permitted buildings.
Deputy District Atty. Patrick David Campbell told the court Friday the demolition was completed March 2. During a three-week period, the county had transported four truckloads of telephone polls totaling 53 tons and additional steel and debris weighing 280 tons. The entire cleanup cost the county $83,488, Campbell said.
The judge ordered Fahey, who survives on an $800-a-month pension, to repay the Department of Public Works $50 a month beginning June 1. She also instructed him to complete a financial evaluation form in order to determine his ability to increase the amount of monthly restitution. The Acton property -- now in foreclosure -- should also be listed, Mitchell said.
"It saddens me that Kim's dream of 30 years has been destroyed by the county," said Bill Guild, vice president of the Antelope Valley Truckers Assn. and among the dozen or so supporters who attended the sentencing. "I go back to the county's motto 'To enrich lives through effective and caring service.' Tell me, whose life has been enriched? The coffers of L.A. County has been enriched."

Quick-Clot branded stuff is a type of clay, it forms a solid plug and must be removed by mechanical means when the wound is properly treated. It also heats up in contact with blood, very painful from what I understand, both application and removal.
Celox branded stuff is made from the chitin contained in the shells of shellfish and processed into chitosan. It forms a solid gel type plug. It produces no heat and removal is done by rinsing with water. It doesn't have to be removed, if any is left the body eventually absorbs it. IIRC, there is also a Hemcon brand which is the same stuff applied to bandages.
Dunno about allergies, if the chitosan is what the allergy is to, sure. But they are used so widely and shellfish allergy is relatively common, so I would think not. Of course, new products come out every day so that info may be out of date.

OVERLAND PARK, Kan. (AP) - Sprint Corp., the ailing No. 3 of the U.S. wireless business, has had the surgery. Now it's in for a trying recovery period.
OVERLAND PARK, Kan. (AP) � Sprint Corp., the ailing No. 3 of the U.S. wireless business, has had the surgery. Now it's in for a trying recovery period.
In the last few months, Sprint has sold a majority stake to Softbank Corp. of Japan, bought the failing Clearwire network and shut down its own Nextel service, which had dogged its results for years.
Sprint is now racing to make up for lost time. With the help of Softbank's cash, it's quadrupling its capital spending to make up for years of underinvestment in its network, which lags those of competitors in terms of data speed and coverage. That's good for subscribers but not necessarily good for investors who are exasperated with the company's 23 consecutive quarters of losses.
CEO Dan Hesse said Tuesday that he expects Sprint to have a hard time gaining subscribers on its contract-based plans, which generate the most revenue, until next year, when the company fires up new antennas on its cell towers and has phones that can take advantage of them.
Sprint's second-quarter results, reported Tuesday, were hampered by the shutdown of the Nextel network, which it bought in 2005. It was popular for its push-to-talk feature, which let phones work like walkie-talkies. The service, however, wasn't compatible with Sprint phones and didn't support wireless broadband, which is necessary for smartphones. The cost of running two incompatible networks was a big part of the reason Sprint hemorrhaged money for years.
The quarter was "ugly, but no worse than expected," said Kevin Smithen at Macquarie Capital.
Sprint lost more than 2 million wireless customers in the quarter, most of which were on Nextel. Sprint managed to convince only 34 percent of the 1.3 million departing Nextel subscribers to sign up for Sprint service, a lower figure than some analysts expected, given Sprint's past success with conversions.
Sprint gained 412,000 subscribers by buying U.S. Cellular coverage areas in Chicago and parts on the Midwest in May. Separately, it bought out the minority shareholders of Clearwire Corp., a wireless network operator of which Sprint already owned a majority. That acquisition closed after the end of the quarter.
Sprint's net loss grew to $1.6 billion, or 53 cents per share. It lost $1.4 billion, or 46 cents per share, a year ago.
Excluding unexpected charges related to the Nextel shutdown, the adjusted loss came to 31 cents per share. Analysts polled by FactSet expected a loss of 30 cents per share.
Revenue rose to $8.88 billion from $8.84 billion thanks to the U.S. Cellular acquisition.
Sprint's stock rose 23 cents, or 4 percent, to $5.97 in morning trading. The day's high of $6.02 was the highest level since SoftBank Corp.'s deal to acquire 78 percent of Sprint closed on July 10.
SoftBank paid $21.6 billion for the Sprint stake. Shareholders got $7.65 per share.
Sprint had 53.6 million subscribers by June's end, down from 55.2 million at the end of March.
AP Business Writer Ryan Nakashima contributed to this report.

Public Comment Period Ends for Proposed Rule to Create a Provisional Unlawful Presence Waiver Process
USCIS to Review Comments and Reminds Public that Rule is Not Yet in Effect
WASHINGTON—Today the formal public comment period closes for U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services' (USCIS) Provisional Unlawful Presence Waivers of Inadmissibility for Certain Immediate Relatives rule. The proposed rule, published in the Federal Register on April 2, 2012, proposes a new filing process for certain immediate relatives of U.S. Citizens (i.e. spouses, children, and parents) who seek a waiver of inadmissibility for unlawful presence in the United States.
The provisional waiver process would allow applicants to remain in the United States with their U.S. citizen spouse, child or parent while USCIS processes their waiver requests. It would reduce the time U.S. citizens are separated from their immediate relatives who must obtain an immigrant visa abroad to become lawful permanent residents of the United States.
USCIS is currently considering the comments received as part of the federal rule making process and plans to publish a final rule in the coming months.
USCIS reminds the public that these proposed procedures are not in effect and will not be available to potential applicants until USCIS publishes a final rule in the Federal Register specifying an effective date.
A detailed Web page addressing the proposed rule is available at www.uscis.gov/provisionalwaiver. This change is separate and distinct from the centralized filing and adjudication process for waivers of inadmissibility announced on May 23, 2012.
For more information on USCIS and its programs, please visit www.uscis.gov or follow us on Twitter (@uscis), YouTube (/uscis) and the USCIS blog The Beacon.

ALACHUA – On Saturday afternoon, the Santa Fe Lady Raiders volleyball team defeated Bishop Kenny High School, in a Class 6-A Final Four showdown. The Lady Raiders swept Bishop Kenny in three sets (25-20, 25-19, 25-17).
The Lady Raiders advanced to the State Championship for the first time since 1976 and the first time any Santa Fe team has advanced to any state championship game since 1994 when the Raider football team won their second State Championship.
With the win over Bishop Kenny, the Lady Raiders earned a berth in the Class 6A State Title match this coming Saturday, Nov. 17.
First year Head Coach Eric Marshall (an alum of Santa Fe High School himself) said that, historically, Bishop Kenny's team of exceptional players has been nearly impossible to beat, so this victory was especially exciting and encouraging.
Santa Fe High School Athletics Director Michele Faulk stressed that the win was the result of a true team effort, not a one-person show.
"Our girls were so well balanced it threw them off guard. This year we don't have one standout player, we have a whole team of standout players. It keeps opposing teams on their toes." Faulk also noted how proud she is of them, saying, "Not only are they exceptional volleyball players, but they are exceptional girls as well."
The girls on the team range from freshmen to seniors, and according to Marshall, when volleyball is concerned, they are very superstitious. He says they plan to prepare for the State Championship by maintaining their exact routine and regimen, down to making sure they start practice at the exact same time. He said, "I encourage them to do that, because it not only makes them comfortable, but it makes them more confident when game time comes."
The Santa Fe Raiders will play in the State Championship game this Saturday, Nov. 17 at 4 p.m. in Fort Myers, Florida against Merritt Island.

10 Ways To Earn Even More Money From Writing - from Literacy.com
One thing that every writer wants to know is how to earn more money from writing. This is because being a writer can be a fickle business sometimes and so you need to have as many sources of income as possible.
You also need to use your time wisely to be able to write as much as you can and be as productive as you can. You need to use the phrase "Don't Get It Right, Get It Written" as often as possible to get you off the starting blocks and writing as much as you can, instead of trying edit your work and be as perfect as possible as you go along. It's so much easier to just start writing and don't stop till you've finished and THEN go back and edit your work later. Remember that writing and editing and two different jobs and should never be done together.
But what you really want to know is how to earn more money from writing. And below are 10 easy ways for you increase your writing income.
1. Write more. I know it sounds obvious that writers should be writing but you'd be surprised at how many people call themselves writers yet they hardly ever write. To improve your writing, get a book of an author you like (or a writer whose style you admire) and copy their work. Just sit and copy out their writing word-for-word. This will give you a really good understanding of their writing style and how you can incorporate it into your own writing.
2. Read more. Successful writers are avid readers as well as being prolific writers. Reading improves you knowledge, exposes you to different writing styles, and can also help you to come up with great ideas for your own writing.
3. Find more freelance markets. If you want to make more money you need to sell more writing. So spend a bit of time every week surfing online and browsing through magazines looking for new writing markets. You can also sign up for regular writers ezines that contain current writing markets. Always be on the look out for new writing opportunities.
4. Submit more queries. Once you've found new markets you then need to make sure that you do actually get your writing published. So make a definite decision to send out at least 5 queries or short stories to different writing markets every week. And then make sure you do it, even if you have to get up early or stay up late.
5. Try different writing projects. Instead of sticking to the same kind of things you write, try branching out into something new. For instance, if you mostly write articles for women's magazines, trying writing jokes, verse, puzzles or children's stories and find new places to submit them.
6. Write and publish eBooks. EBooks are a great way to earn a passive income. You can write an eBook in as little as 24 hours and publish it online in only a few minutes. And because there's no cost involved in selling eBooks you can write as many as you want for as long as you want.
7. Write and publish books. There's nothing more wonderful for a writer than to feel the first copy of your book in your own hands. It's so easy now to publish your own books that there's nothing to stop you from becoming a prolific author and publish several books a year.
8. Learn new writing. There may be areas of writing that you don't feel proficient in. Maybe you've never really tried writing fiction, or, like me, you want to learn copywriting or SEO writing. Choose a area of writing that you've never tried before but would like to learn, and then learn to do it.
9. Invest in your writing. Don't be afraid to spend money to further your writing career. Splash out on some really fancy notebooks and expensive pens or treat yourself to a new computer. Or how about taking a seminar or a writing course or maybe there's a book about writing that you've been thinking about buying. Just open your wallet and buy whatever it takes to help you write more and earn more.
10. Write more. Now you probably notice that this is the same advice in step number one. But it is so important that it needs mentioning more than once. To be a great writer you need to be great at writing and the more you write, the more natural writing will be for you and so the better a writer you'll become. As you write more and more your words will flow onto the paper (or computer monitor) more easily and so your writing will sound more natural. Never stop writing.
The bottom line is that writers write. They always write. When a writer is not writing, they are thinking about writing. And when they're not writing nor thinking about writing, they are reading about writing. So if you want to be a writer, be the very best you can and start writing now.

North Carolina GOP Pushes Unprecedented Bill to Jail Anyone Who Discloses Fracking Chemicals
By Molly Redden / Mother Jones
As hydraulic fracturing ramps up around the country, so do concerns about its health impacts. These concerns have led 20 states to require the disclosure of industrial chemicals used in the fracking process.
North Carolina isn't on that list of states yet—and it may be hurtling in the opposite direction.
On Thursday, three Republican state senators introduced a bill that would slap a felony charge on individuals who disclosed confidential information about fracking chemicals. The bill, whose sponsors include a member of Republican party leadership, establishes procedures for fire chiefs and health care providers to obtain chemical information during emergencies. But as the trade publication Energywire noted Friday, individuals who leak information outside of emergency settings could be penalized with fines and several months in prison.
"The felony provision is far stricter than most states' provisions in terms of the penalty for violating trade secrets," says Hannah Wiseman, a Florida State University assistant law professor who studies fracking regulations.
The bill also allows companies that own the chemical information to require emergency responders to sign a confidentiality agreement. And it's not clear what the penalty would be for a health care worker or fire chief who spoke about their experiences with chemical accidents to colleagues. (more…)

First Drive: 2013 Ford Fusion
It's fair to say that at the Ford Motor Company, they're obsessed with the Toyota Camry. It was far and away the most-mentioned competitor at the launch of the latest Fusion—and of the previous model. The Toyota Camry, after all, has been the bestselling car in America for years—even the tsunami in Japan couldn't keep it out of the top spot—but those with long memories will recall that the Camry toppled the Ford Taurus to take that top spot. Maybe that has something to do with it. You might expect that in redesigning the Fusion, Ford's Camry competitor, Ford would hew closely to the number-one rival's playbook. But Ford did not. Instead, the new Fusion very much follows Ford's own playbook.
If you've been paying attention to recent Fords—the Fiesta, the Focus, the Escape—it's pretty easy to identify the hallmarks of a new Ford: a taut body shape with lots of creases, multiple engine choices with EcoBoost playing a major role, and a heavy emphasis on high technology. The new Fusion? Check, check, and check.
It's Got The Look
Much has been made of the new Fusion's styling, which completely walked away from the previous version, instead embracing elements from Aston Martin (the front end), the Audi A7 (the tapered tail), and the Hyundai Sonata (the side view). That may be a disparate trio, but the result is a cohesive whole, and one with an undeniable family resemblance to other recent Fords.
The midsize sedan market, though, is one where practicality reigns supreme, and any design—no matter how good-looking—that seriously compromises utility is going to be a detriment. So how did Ford mate pretty with practical? Quite well, in fact. With its high beltline and steeply raked windshield and backlight, the Fusion can't come close to matching the outward visibility of the new Honda Accord, but few can. Thick A-pillars and two-piece C-pillars compromise the driver's view somewhat, but the rear package shelf is lower than you'd expect, so the view straight back is OK. (A backup camera is standard on the top-spec Titanium, optional on the volume SE, and not available on the base S.)
More critically, rear-seat space under the sloping roofline is not bad at all. The door opening is a little low, but once inside, a six-footer will find adequate headroom. And it's not achieved by lowering the seat cushion—in fact, the rear seat is comfortably high off the floor and has good under-thigh support. Legroom is good, too, but the rear seat overall does not feel as spacious as that in an Accord or a Camry.
The same is true up front. The high center console sweeps up into the dash (as in the Taurus), which looks modern and cool but also makes for a less open interior than the more conventionally styled Honda and Toyota. The interior design is a lot less splashy than the exterior, though, with gloss black trim accented with plenty of matte grays. Soft-touch areas are there where you want them, and the materials quality is consistent if hardly extravagant. All Fusions have deeply pocketed front seatbacks, and the Titanium model gets firmly bolstered seat cushions as well; lesser Fusions, though, suffer from squishy cushions that offer much less support but may be more accommodating for wide-bodied drivers.
One Car, Many Engines
The new Fusion offers many engine choices—then again, so did the old one. Whereas previously there was a four, two V-6s, and a hybrid, this time there are three fours, no V-6s, and two hybrids.
The carryover 2.5-liter is the base engine on the S and SE. Next up is a 1.6-liter EcoBoost turbo; it's optional ($795) on the SE. Ford's 2.0-liter EcoBoost stands at the top of the heap. The 2.0-liter is optional on the SE and standard on the Titanium, which also offers the option of all-wheel drive (the Fusion and the Subaru Legacy are the only cars in this class to offer AWD).
Like the Honda Accord, the Ford Fusion will offer both regular and plug-in hybrids. The latter model, the Fusion Energi, won't be out until January. The Fusion Hybrid, which blew away the field with its 47/47-mpg city/highway ratings, is going on sale now. See our quick take on that model here.
Of the mainstream Fusions, we drove the 1.6-liter, which is expected to be the volume engine, and the 2.0. With 178 hp and 184 pound-feet of torque, the EcoBoost 1.6-liter provides only marginally better output than the base four-banger's 175 hp and 175 lb-ft. It does, however, get better fuel economy. With its six-speed automatic, the 1.6-liter beats the larger engine's 22/34-mpg figures by 1 mpg in the city and 2 mpg on the highway. If you're really concerned about fuel economy, you might pony up another $295 for auto stop/start, which also includes active grille shutters and additional underbody aerodynamic aids and pushes the EPA ratings to 25/37 mpg.
In our short drive of a 1.6-liter with the auto stop/start system, we found it to be pretty well integrated. The engine doesn't shut off until you've been stopped for two seconds, which is good, and although restart isn't as smooth as in cars with an integrated starter-generator (such as GM's eAssist), the noise and vibration are much lower than in BMW's auto stop/start system. Without electric A/C, the engine needs to be running to drive the compressor, and it won't shut down if it's going to cause passengers to swelter. With temps in the high seventies, and the climate control set on 72, the engine only shut itself off about half the time during our short drive; buyers in Sunbelt states might not see much engine down time at all.
Another, more fun, way to bump up the mileage of the 1.6-liter is to pair it with the available six-speed manual. Auto stop/start is not available with the stick shift, but this pairing achieves the same 25/37-mpg rating even without it. The better news is that this is a Honda-slick shifter with friendly clutch action. It helps wake up the response of this small engine, at least subjectively, although you're not going to talk yourself into the notion that this car is a barn burner. The 1.6/manual model is also the lightest Fusion, at 3333 pounds. That figure makes the Fusion a little heavier than its Asian competitors, but the portliest Fusion, the all-wheel-drive 2.0-liter, is nearly 350 pounds heavier still.
As it happened, the 2.0-liter AWD Titanium was the Fusion that we had on the twisty, canyon-road portion of the drive, and despite its weight, it was engaging and responsive. Ford has shown real skill in chassis tuning, and that's the case here, too. Not only does the Fusion turn in eagerly and resist body roll, but it also snubs body motion yet still takes the edge off bumps. It feels taut and European—though it was developed in the USA. Even the electric power steering in the 1.6-liter and the 2.0 feels very natural and direct. This is likely the best chassis in the field.
As for the 2.0-liter turbo, it's not a slam dunk over the smaller EcoBoost unit. The bigger engine's 237 hp is shy of competitors' V-6s, although the 270 pound-feet of torque is competitive. Full-throttle performance is a little wanting; the EcoBoost is happiest in the midrange. Still, the added oomph might not be enough to offset the fuel economy penalty. The 2.0 is rated at 22 mpg city, 33 highway (31 mpg highway with AWD). That's against 21/34 mpg for the V-6 Accord and 22/34 mpg for the Hyundai Sonata turbo, both of which boast more horsepower. The 2.0, however, is the only engine in the Titanium, but virtually all of the Titanium goodies can be had on the SE.
The Apple Effect
Certainly, dazzling shoppers with high-tech goodies is another pillar of Ford's strategy, and the Fusion offers more features than any other midsize sedan. In addition to the expected navigation (optional on SE and Titanium) and rearview camera (standard on Titanium, optional on SE), Ford adds: blind-spot warning, lane-departure warning with lane-keep assist, adaptive cruise control with forward collision warning, and active park assist. All are optional on SE and Titanium.
Of course, no Ford today is complete without MyFordTouch. It's avoidable on the base car, optional on the SE, and standard on the Titanium. With some models, there are knobs for volume and tuning; on others, only for volume. In nearly all Fusions, the HVAC is also a flat-panel, haptic-touch affair. As always, the workarounds are the steering-wheel controls or voice activation, but we'd rather have physical controls that don't demand so much eyes-off-the-road time.
Seductive styling, better fuel economy, a premium-feeling chassis, and up-to-the-minute technology are all supposed to impart a sense of greater value, enabling Ford to realize higher transaction prices. With the addition of a standard automatic transmission, the car's base price climbs by $995, while the new, top-spec Titanium starts at more than $30,000. Ford wants buyers to buy a Fusion because they want a Fusion, not because it's the best deal. In that sense, then, they're right with the Camry. But they got there with a very different car.

November proved another disappointing month for some key Paulson & Co. hedge funds, including the gold fund, which dropped nearly 12 percent, and the firm's two umbrella funds, Advantage and Advantage Plus, which were down a respective 4.7 percent and 6.5 percent.
With only a month left to trade, some of which will be affected by light trading during the religious holidays, those moves make it almost certain that all three Paulson funds will have fallen for the year – by significant degrees (a respective 21, 17, and 22 percent).

In a blog post on the Microsoft On The Issues blog on August 7, Brendon Lynch, the Chief Privacy Officer at Microsoft announced that during Windows 8 setup, Internet Explorer's Do Not Track (DNT) feature will be set to ON in the Express Settings option.
Internet Explorer's DNT default caused a bit of stir recently with companies like Google which make money mostly through their advertisement products, as well as advertisers who want better tracking/metrics/targeting, not wanting this feature turned on by default. The argument from privacy advocates (and Microsoft) was that if it is not turned on by default, there is a very small chance it will be turned on deliberately by the user. Mozilla, makers of Firefox, which has stood tall for consumer privacy, curiously does not turn it on by default. (Could it be because their single-largest source of income is royalty payments from Google for keeping Firefox Start Page to be a custom Google search page, and for keeping Google the default search engine in the browser? Can't say for sure.)
In any case, now that Windows 8 has RTM-ed, we know what the behavior is going to be. Users who go through the setup with Express Settings will have DNT turned on by default. During the setup, it will be made clear that this setting has been turned on, and to change it they can click on Customize Settings during the setup. If someone cares enough about fine tuning the Windows 8 setup, they can choose Customize Settings and they will be shown the choice to turn it off and a link to "Learn More" about the feature along with a Privacy Statement.
Microsoft should be commended for taking a pro-consumer, privacy-first stand and while this may be a competitive play to blunt Google's biggest revenue generation area, the fact that consumers benefit as a result of the competitive play, is a huge plus in the end.
Let's wait and see which organization stands up and speaks against this move – publishers, advertisers, Google or the government.

With winter�s grip mercifully loosening, the first fresh smells of spring are about to engage us. Not all of them will prove pleasant.
Along any wetland, you now can see our state�s first-to-bloom wildflower, the skunk cabbage, using its special chemicals to melt through the snow. Pick one and it will malodorously perfume your fingers long after you throw it away.
Long-dormant skunks are emerging eagerly from their dens now, too, hungry and anxious to mate. Wafts of their aroma will soon become all too apparent.
Any time from mid-February through mid-April, we can expect to see signs of their crepuscular and nocturnal activity as hormone-wild, polygamous males become road kills with increasing frequency. Female skunks, which copulate with only one male, are equally desperate to mate now as they want to bear their litters by May or early June at the latest.
Having eaten little or nothing all winter, skunks are ravenous, urgently searching for rodents, insects, earthworms, garbage, left-out pet food � almost anything edible. Many of our dogs will soon find and face them. Skunks won�t be hesitant to spray when confronted, and their essence is particularly potent now, having been stored and aged for months.
The chemistry of skunk spray was long a mystery, but we now know the obnoxious compound is simply a perfect storm of carbon, hydrogen and sulfur arranged in just the right configuration. Since skunk odor is contained in highly volatile chemical thiols, eliminating it requires oxidizing those thiols into sulfonic acids. That process is simpler than it sounds. But save the tomato juice; this most popular remedy is one of the least effective.
For indelicate, nonliving things, chlorine solutions like liquid laundry bleach oxidize effectively and with little cost, but they�re dangerous to use on animals.
My suggested skunk spray remedy is made easily with a quarter cup of baking soda, a quart of 3-percent hydrogen peroxide, and one teaspoon of liquid dishwashing detergent. Apply away from the dog�s eyes with dispensable rubber gloves and rinse thoroughly with cold water five minutes later. This mixture is a home, dog and marriage saver. Its only drawback is that it can lighten a pet�s coat color, as it did to my liver-and-white Brittany, Sosa, who temporarily became a strawberry blonde.
Telegram & Gazette reader Jack McLaughlin wrote in to share another easy solution.
�Years ago, our 95-pound husky/malamute cross got sprayed. That night, after I cleaned him, he was able to sleep without any trace of skunk scent in his favorite place � our bedroom. My solution was to send my daughters to the drug store and buy unscented Massengill douche. I emptied 3 or 4 packets of the powder into the bathtub filled with 4 or 5 inches of warm water. I bathed the dog, pouring the water over his body, staying away from his head, which I washed with a wet facecloth to protect his eyes. I dried him very well prior to letting him loose in the house. This works with no tomato red staining on his fur or any other side-effects. I hope this helps other pet owners.�
The ingredients of two different unscented Massengill douches that I checked are simply either very diluted vinegar and water, or baking soda and water. While McLaughlin may have had great success with the product � it�s hard to say how severely sprayed his dog was � the traditional homebrew of baking soda, hydrogen peroxide and dishwashing detergent is hard to beat.
It loosens the most stubborn concentrations of oils and doesn�t require the help of a daughter.
With either solution, though, I still wouldn�t want my treated dog to jump up too soon on a couch or bed. Residual odors can rub off on them.
And don�t be surprised if after your dog subsequently gets wet from a run in the rain, a faint eau-de-skunk re-emerges as long as a month after initial spraying. An encounter with these stinkers is not soon forgotten.
Skunk litters average four to six young, all of which can spray as soon as they can walk. With the addition of thousands more baby skunks in the next couple of months, the likelihood of a spraying will increase. Fortunately, we have the antidotal chemistry to parry theirs.

When FSM released the long-awaited expanded edition of James Horner's Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan (1982) in 2009, it didn't take a Vulcan scientist to assume that the score's companion piece, Star Trek III: The Search for Spock (1984), might also see the light of day. FSM delivers—thanks to the good graces of Paramount Pictures and Capitol Records.
James Horner's Star Trek III continues his superlative work for the Final Frontier, with emotional developments of the B-theme (the "Enterprise theme") and Spock's theme from the earlier film, as well as exotic atmospheres for the all-important Vulcan mysticism that drives the story. The film's villains, the Klingons, receive a new theme with exciting barbaric instrumentation. From the grand "space opera" setpieces ("Stealing the Enterprise," "Bird of Prey Decloaks") to intimate, spiritual moments ("The Mind-Meld," "Returning to Vulcan"), Horner's Star Trek III is one of the finest scores in the Star Trek canon.
The Star Trek III soundtrack has been available before but only in a 43-minute LP sequence. FSM's 2CD set features two programs, both newly mastered from recording engineer Dan Wallin's first-generation digital film mixes: Disc one features the complete score as intended for the film itself, including such long-desired cues as "Grissom Destroyed," "A Fighting Chance to Live" (featuring the Enterprise's self-destruct countdown and immolation in Genesis's atmosphere) and "Genesis Destroyed." In addition, previously unreleased film versions of cues such as "Klingons" and "Stealing the Enterprise" make their premiere, with differences that are subtle but noticeable to devoted fans. Disc two features a recreation (in better sound quality) of the familiar LP sequence—complete with Group 87's pop version of "The Search for Spock."
The 20-page booklet features liner notes by Jeff Bond and Lukas Kendall and colorful art direction by Joe Sikoryak. Climb the steps of Mount Seleya today!

Download Boris Pasternak Study Guide
Boris Pasternak Short Fiction Analysis
(Literary Essentials: Short Fiction Masterpieces)
All Boris Pasternak's fiction illustrates the tragic involvement of a poet with his age. Just prior to World War I, Russian literature was dominated by the figure of Vladimir Mayakovsky, who embodied a strange combination of symbolist mythmaking with the fierce futurist rejection of traditional forms. Bordering on the theatrical, Mayakovsky's self-dramatization pitted the gifted literary artist's elevated emotions and extreme sensitivity against his supposedly dull and unappreciative or even hostile audience, an artistic tendency which Pasternak recognized and from which he tried to liberate himself in his early stories.
"The Story of a Contraoctave"
"The Story of a Contraoctave," written in 1913, stems from Pasternak's Marburg years and his exposure there to German Romanticism. Centered upon a German organist who, caught up in a flight of extemporaneous performance, unknowingly crushes his son to death in the instrument's works, this story exhibits the Romantic artist's "inspiration," his lack of concern for ordinary life, and the guilt that society forces upon him. Pasternak's first published story, "Apellesova Cherta" ("The Mark of Apelles"), written in 1915 at the height of his admiration for Vladimir Mayakovsky, explores the problem of Pasternak's simultaneous attraction to, and dismay with, the neo-Romantic posture. In this story, two writers agree to a literary competition which quickly spills over into real life when one, clearly named for Heinrich Heine, the German nineteenth century poet whose irony punctured the naïve bubble of Romantic idealism, outdoes the heavy-handed idealistic fantasy of his opponent Relinquimini by arousing and responding to genuine love in Relinquimini's mistress. A similar pair of antagonists forms the conflict in "Bezlyube" ("Without Love"), written and published in 1918 and originally intended as part of an unfinished longer work, although it actually furnished material for Doctor Zhivago. "Without Love" paradoxically shows an activist living in a peculiar never-never land, while a lyric dreamer's adherence to the truth of remembered experience illustrates Pasternak's inability to adapt his artistic inspiration to political service.
"Letters from Tula"
"Letters from Tula," written in 1918, again juxtaposes reality and art, but here the Russia of Pasternak's own time provides his setting. A powerful contrast develops between the reactions of a young poet and an old retired actor to a film crew working near the town of Tula. The poet, passing through on the train, is in the grasp of a violent passion for his distant lover. The mediocrity of the vulgar filmmakers appalls him, but as he tries to write to his beloved, he becomes even more disgusted with his own self-consciously arty efforts at conveying his emotion. On the other hand, the aged actor, who wholeheartedly detests the philistine cinema and the loss of tradition it caused, uses his own successful artistic representation. Made grindingly aware by them of his age and his loneliness and most of all of his need for "the human speech of tragedy," the old man returns to his silent apartment and re-creates a part of one of his performances, which in turn calls up a valid response of healing memory.
In A Safe-Conduct , his first autobiography, Pasternak wrote, "In art the man is silent, and the image speaks." The young poet's silence in "Letters from Tula" would eventually foster his creativity, but it had to be purchased at the sacrifice of his youthful arrogance and the painful achievement of humility. The old actor attains his creative silence because he is the only one in the story who could make another speak through his own lips. Thus the humble willingness to serve as the vehicle of art, allowing experience to speak through him, becomes an important stage in Pasternak's artistic development, enabling him to move beyond romantic self-absorption toward an art that...

text: ABU DHABI - Gulf Arab government dismissed as "interference" an Iranian suggestion that unrest in Syria and Bahrain be discussed at nuclear talks between world powers and Iran, accusing Tehran of constantly trying to destabilize some Arab states.The secretary general of the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) said the bloc "categorically rejected" Iran's proposal, saying it was further evidence of Iranian meddling in the region, the Bahraini news agency BNA reported on Thursday. "This confirms Iran's clear interference in the domestic affairs of Arab countries, and its continuous efforts to destabilize the security of some of these Arab countries," Abdulatif al-Zayani was quoted as saying.Arab popular uprisings since 2011 have kindled increased strife between Shi'ite and Sunni Muslims that Sunni-ruled Gulf states with restive Shi'ite communities blame on incitement from regional Shi'ite power Iran, which denies this.The GCC is a US-allied, political and economic bloc comprising Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, Oman, Qatar, the United Arab Emirates and Kuwait.The GCC is not represented at the intermittent and so far inconclusive talks six world powers are conducting with Iran to try to get it to rein in its disputed nuclear energy program.Western diplomats have accused Iran in the past of trying to avoid the main point of the negotiations by widening the agenda to cover security and economic issues. cnxps.cmd.push(function () { cnxps({ playerId: '36af7c51-0caf-4741-9824-2c941fc6c17b' }).render('4c4d856e0e6f4e3d808bbc1715e132f6'); });The next session is due to take place in Kazakhstan on Feb. 26. The West fears Iran is pursuing the means to develop nuclear weapons. Iran says it seeks only civilian atomic energy.The semi-official Iranian news agency Mehr said on Tuesday Tehran had proposed including Bahrain - which is grappling with unrest by majority Shi'ites - and Syria - where civil war is raging - in the talks with world powers."The Islamic Republic of Iran has proposed as a suggestion to Western countries that the crisis in Syria and Bahrain be among the issues discussed in negotiations in Kazakhstan," Mehr quoted Deputy Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi as saying.Bahrain summoned Iran's charge d'affaires over the statement, BNA said.The GCC routinely accuses Iran of interfering in the region, primarily in Bahrain where the Sunni-dominated government has been struggling since 2011 to suppress pro-democracy agitation led mainly by the kingdom's Shi'ites.Iran denies meddling in Bahrain or trying to subvert any of its other wealthy Gulf Arab neighbors. Tehran also regards the Gulf as its geo-political backyard and says it has a legitimate right to advance its interests there.
